Charles K. was the first Minister to Greece (1868-1872) and was born March 11, 1821 and died Feb. 28, 1986 in Florence Italy. On the reverse of the gentleman's portrait in pencil: "Portrait of Henry H. Tuckerman . . . " with a printed label on the back side: "Henry Theodore Tuckerman" (we presume that the sons name on the back of this portrait indicates ownership not subject identification) Sold with the companion portrait of his wife.
